June 11th, 2008 by
Representative Ron Paul is planning a daylong rally in Minnesota during the Republican National Convention there that could draw attention from the presumed nominee, Senator John McCain. Mr. Paul, also seeking the Republican nomination, has reserved an arena at the University of Minnesota on Sept. 2, the second day of the convention. “We want it to be a celebration of Republican values and what the Republican Party has traditionally stood for,” said Jesse Benton, a spokesman for Mr. Paul. The Republican Party will be gathering at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul for its four-day event.
